They took two dogs and abandoned Lucy? Those people should be banned from owning any pets ever again. They don't deserve to own any.

[@RippleDrop.]

Exactly

[@anneterry3660]

Some rescues keep files on individual that adopt and return, often lying about the dog's behavior to avoid responsibility for surrendering the dog often multiple times. Lying about a dog can result in the dog's euthanize. One gentleman reported trying for a third adoption that the dogs "kept running away". People spontaneously adopt dogs then realize they really do not want the 24/7/365 new family member. If a person abuses, tortures, or de-socializes a dog to make a "guard" dog or "protection" dog they need to be flagged at all rescues.

[@maiterodriguez9913]

Absolutely

[@StephanieRaePowerhouse]

Agreed. Like cps. You neglect one child, they take all children.

[@bliss6495]

Well put! Lucy's new mom is such an angel

[@Terri_MacKay]

So, she sat there as she watched her mom and dad each drive off with one of her siblings, leaving her behind. Lucy, like all dogs, trusted her family. She wasn't staying by her old house, or refusing to get in the car because she was scared. She was waiting for her family to come back, because she trusted that they would. People who betray that trust, loyalty, and love of a pet are monsters, who don't deserve to have another pet, ever!! I was so happy to see Lucy at the end of the video. Finally with a family that deserves her and the trust, loyalty, and love she'll give them. And I'm sure they're going to give her all the love in the world, right back. ❤❤

I recently drove a dog who was losing his home to a divorce. It was so sad. The woman just walked away. The man had to move for a job and couldn’t find an apartment that would allow his big dog. He brought his sweet girl to me and said, “Promise me she’ll go to her forever home.” He was in tears. His sweet girl was adopted within a few days. Happy ending for all but the young man who loved his dog enough to make sure she’d be safe.

It is considered animal abuse to abandon a pet - in all 50 States. It is a criminal offense. Since the neighbor they spoke to knew about what Lucy's owners did, I don't understand why she didn't report it. If she had, Lucy would not have been left abandoned and alone for 2 weeks, poor baby. I hope they investigated Lucy's family and made them take accountability for their crime. How awful 😞 What kind of person does that? They should be punished for the decision they made, fined, and sentenced to a reasonable amount of jail time. They should never be allowed to be pet owners.
